The post has received mixed reactions. But it also seems to have ruffled a few feathers, mostly from men.

Why make this a gendered issue? What you are basically defining here is condescending behaviour that can happen in any human interaction, regardless of gender. I take offence at the sexist implication that this is a male oriented behaviour. #shesexist#notallmen#genderequity

To say that the behaviour is "predominantly gendered" is a bold and unfounded statement! This thread alone is rife with people being condescending towards one another. To base your assertion factually, you would need to accumulate data to support your claim.
